After trying every other optimization solution imaginable, Sustainable Furniture implemented LiteMage Cache with default settings and immediately saw their page load times drop to at least half of what they were previously.
Rafasshop were happy to find that, contrary to their past experience testing other caches with their highly complex site, LiteMage worked for them out-of-the-box without the need for any manual configuration.
With the same configuration and LiteMage active, the average response time dropped to an incredible 0.12 seconds with the shortest transaction coming in at 0.06 seconds and the longest at 5.26 seconds (likely a page that was not cacheable). That is a 93.5% reduction in response time, over 15x's faster than before!
In this benchmark, we compare the performance of LiteSpeed Web Server to Nginx and Apache both with and without cache.
For new store visitors, the first page loading speed is a critical factor in visitor retention. With an industry median of 7.25 seconds, and the so called “optimal” 3 second threshold, what kind of initial impression does a vanilla, non-cached Magento store offer new visitors? Let's have a look.
Magento Connect is no longer, but you can still get LiteMage right here.
